Reviews of every film I watch. The Good, The Bad and The Mothman Prophecies.

Standard hostage/kidnapp bullshit from Joel Schumacher. Nic Cage needs to pay off his tax bill soon. This is his most phoned in performance yet. None of his usual sparkle, he frankly seems embarrassed by the whole thing. The presence of Cage and Kidman and the decent performances of Ben Mendelsohn as head criminal and Liana Liberato as rebellious daughter only just elevate this above made for TV status. Joel Schumacher (the man who put nips on Batman) needs to stick to something with a decent story like his recent efforts Town Creek and Number 23 because this is just awful. Avoid.
